A promising premise that unfortunately falls seriously short in execution. We didn't even approach the point until about 80% of the way in, and then said point ended up being a thin veneer of trite leaning feminism.

I never like to say that a teen novel has a lesser expectant audience, so I would never say that this was "good fora teen novel". Every age reader deserves stellar writing. This book was good, but not great. Without spoilers, I thinks some more detail could have been written into some areas, such as the transformations. I loved the relationship building method for the characters, specifically Alice and Lottie. Will recommend to many readers who like teen stories, the occult and supernatural stories.
